lyrics

Sometimes I look into the sun and see myself
Sometimes I look into myself and see the sun

Sometimes I see the face of god in my mundane life
And I assign my mundane life to the highest one

The formless has been given its eyes
And it has come to no one’s surprise
That even now my desire to perceive
Has allowed this very force to deceive
If I convince myself over and over
The sky’s the limit for what I can uncover
I draw the knife out and cut my face free
And force it onto the world around me

This is merely a projection of man
And they will make it so whenever they can
The whole of nature is a looking glass
But we are still the first in line to pass
If I can build it then so must it be
Then this whole world is beholden to me
I always conquer what I choose to create
Or is my creation what I imitate?

Imposition
Inquisition
Explanation
Infestation

Oh, why
Does the real world deceive my eyes?
Oh why
Can’t they hear the desperate lies?
Perhaps the world has lost its fun
That’s why I look into the sun.

Goblin Hovel recommends:

The Deer Will Hunt
by Where She Wept

I have heard everything from Evoken to My Dying Bride, and I still think Where She Wept is darker in sound and execution than any other gothic/doom band. And they don't even need a violin. Goblin Hovel
go to album
Witch of the Northern Frost
by Nazgûl

This is cold, meditative, and plain old desolate black metal done right. A must have for the worshipers of 90's style Norwegian folk/black metal! Goblin Hovel
go to album
Advent
by Wandering Oak

Every member of Oak is an absurdly talented musician and their cohesion as players and people is awe inspiring in and of itself. The music is intricate, but emotional; wild, yet thoughtful. Goblin Hovel
